Hi Matt. I used to have a set of wrist and ankle weights, and they are great for when you are walking (I do a lot of it) and really make a difference to toning. I am thinking about getting some more - throwing hints out for Mothers day at the moment.

Deb, well not sure if these were cheap or not but kmart had a special on exercise gear the other day so I got a set of 1.5kg's ankle/wrist weights for $22. Lol, definately feeling it working when I got them around the legs.. got more sweat happening... lol suppose I better go get a shower now before I stink up the whole house

That does sound good Matt I bet you can really feel a difference too. 1.5kg doesn't sound like much but when constantly moving it would be. I do a part of a cardio workout that incorporates weights and I only use a 500g weight in each hand, boy it kills though.

On a serious note if you find your legs are feeling a bit stiff have a salt bath just before you go to bed and you won't have sore muscles in the morning, just make sure you do it literally as you are going to bed as it makes you really weak!!
